Sumerian Food

The Sumerians ate what they could. They ate apples, pears, grapes, figs, quinces, plums, apricots, mulberries, melons and pomegranates.
Bread was a large part of the Sumerians' meals. They drank beer, cows mailk and of course water. Fish provided for them a source of protein.
They also ate food from what they grew - they grew barley, chickpeas, lentils, wheat, dates, onions, garlic, lettuce, leeks and mustard.
